Civilians, or citizens?

If the later, our duty as citizens is to exercise our democratic powers to be responsible for educating ourselves to be intelligent and competent enough to turn our nation into the amazing wonderful country we have the potential to turn it into.

He can urinate anywhere and at anytime he likes ��dats like the only benefit of being a Nigerian ��

The question was "why are you proud to be a Nigerian", and not, why do you insist on being an animal who turns your country not so much into a zoo but into a jungle.

mcjohny:
Please if i may ask, what are those things that make you proud of being a Nigerian or living in Nigeria?

First, its my country. Second is our immense potential especially after the youths educate themselves, which I see them doing here at Nairaland University. We will after all one day get rid of the old guard or they will just die a natural death and and then those youth will be in charge of turning Nigeria into what they want it to become, and by 2050, if not long before, or by 2100 by the latest, Nigeria will be the new world power and I am proud in advance for what I see we have the capability to achieve.

Not having such faith and hope in Nigeria is like saying I, buda, a Nigerian, is too useless to fulfil my potential which will be a blatant lie considering how much effort I daily put in to educating myself to be sufficiently competent to fulfil my potential. And I can see that I am not the only one who understands that our country Nigeria is whatever we Nigerians make of it, be it bad or the good powerful nation we can all be proud of.

For the short answer please see below.

This is what I hate. If the Federal government doesn't want to hear calls for seccession, why can't they create an equitable environment where everyone can feel like they are part of the country?. I am more for restructuring than dissolution but I have had it with the stubbornness of Nigerian elites. They refuse to restructure, turn legitimate criticism into ethno-religious conversations and then throw empty adjectives about Nigeria's unity. Let them continue.

As Nigeria continues in its present trajectory, the time is coming where the Northern elites would canvass for our proposals only to be told that it is too late.

You must blame us Nigerians for voting for those who do not offer what you want.

When we want a government that will provide us with "equitable environment" or "restructuring" or "seccession" or "dissolution" even, we will vote for those offering it instead of accepting a loaf of bread and a litre of kerosene or one congo of rice for our vote.

And, no Sir, it is never too late to vote for what we may want!

hotwax:
We hate the north thats why we want to fight bandits...

You hate the North that's why you label Northerners bandits?

Hotwax please speak for yourself instead of deluding yourself that you speak for "we", because we Southerners are not all so ignorant to just hate people because they are from the North.

If you can read, you'd see that I do not pander to bandits, Northern ones nor Southern, yourself included.

budaatum:
I agree with Mr Sunday.

An attack on the North is also an attack on the entire Nigeria, and the attackers must be hunted down and served justice.

hotwax:
yes your bandit and bokoharam brothers are the one attacking you northerners and you are pampering them.

When you are ready to stop attack in the north, you will stop it.

So, in your opinion, the attackers and the attacked are the same people?

I guess you'd agree then if I said, it is southerners attacking themselves too right, and when southerners want to stop attacking themselves they will just stop attacking themselves or are your standards just so doubled that you about to attack yourself, hotwax?

It is odd that I might be beginning to agree with you, subject to confirmation of the following.

budaatum:
Is Nnamdi Kanu now realising Nigeria is one indivisible country, and his new mantra will be "Nigeria Kwenu! Nigeria Amaka"?

If so, let me buda be the first to say:

Nnamdi Kanu for President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria!

Subject to confirmation by his future actions.

Do note me yelling below before quoting.

budaatum:
I agree with Mr Sunday.

An attack on the North is also an attack on the entire Nigeria, and the attackers must be hunted down and served justice.

And if true, one of them for President and the other for vice, as soon as we can resolve this first.


Astrog, read and be educated please!
Ignorance is a not a good thing to chose!

I agree with Mr Sunday.

An attack on the North is also an attack on the entire Nigeria, and the attackers must be hunted down and served justice.

Jostoman:
Point of correction Mr FG It is self determination and not secession

Point of correcting you

Self determination is your right to vote for your leaders, which is a right you already have!

Is Nnamdi Kanu now realising Nigeria is one indivisible country, and his new mantra will be "Nigeria Kwenu! Nigeria Amaka"?

If so, let me buda be the first to say:

Nnamdi Kanu for President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria!

Subject to confirmation by his future actions.

Do note me yelling below before quoting.

November1857:
When ever merit arises , Afonja and Aboki always found wanting ! No wonder they always opposed Ibo succession from this contraps !

I beg, succession now. Abi me buda get any powers to stop you successioning? Just that whatever you do do sensibly and wisely please.

Succession (meaning)
1. a number of people or things of a similar kind following one after the other.
"she had been secretary to a succession of board directors"

2. the action or process of inheriting a title, office, property, etc.
"the new king was already elderly at the time of his succession"

I think I might have been busy with other things because I never "heard Nnamdi Kanu Broadcast Yesterday" and my own part of the "whole world" did not as much as shiver not to talk of "shook".

Anyone got it please?

Some want make Osinbajo run by force by force

Kanu is just pissed off that Super Eagles players, Kelechi Iheanacho and Wilfred Ndidi have, with their right to freely speak, declared for Nigeria.

It's not as if Biafra will be sending a team to the Olympics or the World Cup anytime soon after all.

DaveDave001:
I want to convert to Judaism...Christianity is seriously a draw back...I believe that is one of the things holding us igbos...the tenets of Christianity are love mercy & forgiveness.....If we igbos embrace judaism fully we will never be subjugated by the vermins from the futajalon....Because it will now be tooth for tart...an eye for an eye...If you monitor the middle east situation with Israel and the uncircumcised arabs you’ll understand better.....We rely so much on praying for our enemies and praying to God to fight for us......We have a very great semblance to the isrealites.

Did you not try this your "a tooth for tart...an eye for an eye" during the Civil War? How did that pan out again, I forget?

I think you think you are Israel, when in fact you might be those poor oppressed Palestinians who's land the Israelites are grabbing like Nigeria is supposedly grabbing your land and assets.

Perhaps see what an intelligent Igbo said below.

There you go. The first 2 confirmations that Southern Nigerians are divided.

hybrid11:
Nothing bind us together oo

FreeIgbos:
Dividing the sh1thole into North and South won't work because yorubas will still be insecure with Igbos. Nigeria is better divided into at least 4 or 5 countries. It will bring about stability, peace and progress.

Any others please?

seguno2:
That part is definitely wrong, especially when coming from a dubious person like Okorocha. Thanks

I do agree with you.

They will welcome you in Israel

60 by 60. Also remove the 40 by 40s in the other rooms and replace them all with 60 by 60 since those are the ones you prefer.

The crossroads some are between!

Can those who comment here confirm for us that a Southern Nigeria will have something in common.

The way you will insult each other makes me doubt you are not divided, so share the love so I know how wrong I am.

seguno2:
Perhaps you have a different understanding of what he said below

One might as well ask if the government should be "giving the N76billion we want to give to youths and share".

As I said, that part may be wrong, but that we lose money on not rearing cattle in ranches is very right.

UK imports its meat from very faraway Australia and New Zealand. If we are comparable on quality and price of production, we'd beat them on transportation.

Odd. Not, "Lord, let there not be crisis in this nation", but, “If there is a crisis in this Nation, I will be the last to leave here,” he said.

Ah well. At least we know he wouldn't go to UK.

Kebbiprince:
Why didn't he do it when he was a governor. Just when out of power all the ideas come

I do agree with you. They talk now but did nothing when they were in power, but as I said above, ranch is not government business. He could have provided a favourable environment however.

seguno2:
What is true about government giving money for a business that should be done by entrepreneurs?
How much money is the federal government giving to pig farmers, cassava farmers, ICT businesses etc

No one says government should give money to any business. Entrepreneurs can find their own money, buy land and set up a ranch.

We can do with some music I guess, specially since everyone is going to be Nigeria's next president.

Funny thing is, it is true. But instead of we Nigerian doing ranch on our own land we leave it to uneducated herders and end up eating substandard meat.

We did say there was no agreement not make similar nicknames didn't we? Of course I do agree he is defeating the spirit of the agreement though.

Good thing is it links well to his past, which goes to show one can not sin against the Spirit and so easily get away with it.

Did Allah own me to begin with?

PeaceJoyLove:
Bro, I think I mentioned it above, though I find it unnecessary to quote his failed words. He has not learned. I am a Christian and I had to quickly say it too. The guy talks rubbish. Though, I am a strong believer in God, please...he is not his own. I am confident God did not send him. But if he is successful, I will apologize to him...but I know he is not sent.

Please, take note.

I posted what I did because of you. I was amused you spotted his wolfness despite the sheeps skin he cloaks himself in and felt not talking would be irresponsible of me.
